Through two weeks, Mitchell Trubisky has 348 passing yards, zero touchdowns and 19 rushing yards. Even though he is 12th in attempts and 6th in deep attempts, Trubisky has a negative-49.3 (No. 31) Production Premium and a 50.4 (No. 31) True Passer Rating.

Without Cam Newton’s rushing ability, he has to create plays with his arm. And while his 572 (No. 12) passing yards and 391 (No. 5) Air Yards are both top-12, his 55.9 (No. 32) True Passer Rating, negative-50.5 (No. 33) Production Premium and zero (No. 33) passing touchdowns aren’t enough.

Of all the breakout candidates in this Eagles offense, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside offers the most tantalizing upside after coming to the NFL with a 107.4 (87th-percentile among qualified wide receivers) Speed Score and a 42.7-percent (86th-percentile) College Dominator Rating.

Despite what film-grinders say, Josh Jacobs finished his Alabama career with a 4.3-percent (18th-percentile) College Target Share and never handled much of the pass game work. Oakland is likely to play from behind often in 2019, making Jacobs a strong sell candidate after his positive Week 1 performance.

Pittsburgh’s offensive line entered Week 2 providing a 91.8-percent (No. 5) Protection Rate. JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner and McDonald make fantastic offensive weapons. Rudolph is at an inflection point in his career, but his weaponry makes him a priority waiver add.   

Last year in games without James Conner, Jaylen Samuels saw 66-percent of the rushing work, and his share of the team targets jumped from three-percent to ten-percent. Over those three games, Samuels averaged 16.93 PPR fantasy points. He also ended the year with a +24.7 (No. 9) Production Premium.

Allocate a healthy amount of FAAB to Raheem Mostert if he went unclaimed this past week, and search for Jeff Wilson this week. Running backs in the Shanahan system produce, and with a wide receiver group in constant flux, there is plenty room for these backs to continue to contribute in the passing game going forward.

Russell Wilson and Tyler Lockett remain must-starts, and D.K. Metcalf continues to make for an intriguing tournament play. Be sure to send out a trade offer for Chris Carson, who put the ball on the ground two times this week. Seattle is too bent on running the ball, so he won’t be in the doghouse for long.

Sony Michel’s Week 1 performance doesn’t give us much to be excited about, but he’s already enjoyed success against the Dolphins dating back to last season. He totaled 45 carries for 169 yards and one touchdown in two games against Miami, and was the RB16 in Week 4 when he posted 17.2 fantasy points.

Josh Jacobs had a coming out party to remember in his Week 1 performance against the Broncos. He took 23 carries for 85 yards and two touchdowns, while seeing eight red zone touches. He’s a bell cow back who was Top 10 in the league in rushing yards, carries, points and red zone touches.

Dede Westbrook headlined as a top wide receiver in the Week One edition of this series. Now, he finds his way back for another plus match-up in Week Two. After making the most of his opportunity against Kendall Fuller, he faces off against another struggling cornerback in Bradley Roby.

After last week, gamers should have a bit of comfort as to T.Y. Hilton’s usage and production going forward. Week Two brings a match-up that Hilton owners need to get excited about. Slated to line up across from Malcolm Butler, he is among this week’s top WR plays.

Jacoby Brissett’s performance in Week 1 showed that he and the Colts offense will be fine. With an upcoming four-game stretch against the Titans, Falcons, Raiders and Chiefs, now is the time to acquire Parris Campbell with Devin Funchess sidelined.

One of the key metrics we look for in our slot receivers is elite agility. Ryan Switzer checks that box with a 10.77 (94th-percentile) Agility Score. Though he’s never recorded more than 67 receiving yards in an NFL game, there’s room for him to put up decent fantasy numbers with Ben Roethlisberger at the helm of the offense.

Matt Breida has been nothing but efficient when he has taken the field. Last season Breida averaged 5.3 yards per carry on 153 attempts while adding 27 receptions at an 87.1-percent catch rate.

Robert Woods led the team with 13 targets and 98 air yards. Cooper Kupp followed closely behind in targets with 10 but at a much more shallow, 5 average depth of target. Kupp makes up for this with his immense share of the red zone work in LA.

Cincinnati finally looks ready to unleash John Ross and see if he can live up to his potential. He played 93.8-percent of the snaps, ran 41 routes – one less than Tyler Boyd – and led the team with 12 targets. The result? Seven catches, 158 receiving yards and two TDs.

Terry McLaurin profiles as a legitimate rookie breakout candidate. He played 95-percent of the snaps, led the team in receiving with 125 yards, tied for second with seven targets and averaged an eye-popping 25.0 yards per reception. Furthermore, Case Keenum missed him on a potential 70-plus yard TD that would have been his second on the day.

Yes, it was just one game. And yes, I am well aware that it was against a putrid Miami Dolphins team. But did you see what Lamar Jackson did on Sunday?! Oh boy, we have ourselves a league-winner. Jackson torched the Dolphins for 324 yards and five touchdowns through the air.

No Antonio Brown, no problem. Tyrell Williams balled out in his Raiders debut. He had six receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown, proving he can be the team’s WR1. He was on the field for 92.6-percent of the snaps and held a 26.9-percent target rate, further solidifying himself as the true No.1. Williams averaged five yards per route run and accumulated 48 yards after the catch.
